Westbrook did not draw any discipline from the game officials for the exchange during the Thunder's 98-89 win.

Prior to the game, he also apparently wrote that Westbrook is a "piece of classless sh*t" and that someone needs to "kick his ass".

"I am personally hurt by the incident at the game on March 11th", Mitchell said in the statement, according to Deseret News.

Keisel soon deleted his Twitter account and is preparing to sue Westbrook, but we're thinking his social media account may not help his case.

"We were just two men, I thought, having fun initially", he said. "People can say whatever what they want to say us during games and yell out stuff and talk about our families and talk about our kids". These included screenshots dating back to a year ago, one in which Keisel allegedly wrote, "Russell Westbrook needs to go back where he came from!"

As Deadspin reports, Westbrook has since issued a statement about the incident, saying Keisel told him to "Get on your knees like you used to", a comment he said he interpreted as "racial". Am I heckling the opposing guy? Fellow Oklahoma City Thunder player Raymond Felton confirmed his teammate's side of the story, ESPN's Tim MacMahon noted. Some of the tweets were from last season and insulted Westbrook. "I'm exhausted of just going out and playing, then the fans saying whatever the hell they want to say. They're coming at him first".
